Table 12-7.—Magazine Designators for Fire Hazard of Powder (Bulk or Semifixed Ammunition), Pyrotechnics, Ignition Fuzes and Primers, Small Arms, Smoke Drums, and Explosive-Loaded Chemical Ammunition Table 12-8.—Magazine Designators for Fragment Hazard of Projectile and Fixed Ammunition designation as indicated in tables 12-6, 12-7, 12-8, and 12-9. To show the type of magazine, for example, the letter T is added if the magazine is earth-covered and barricaded If the magazine is earth-covered but not barricaded, the letter C is added. If the magazine is not earth-covered but is barricaded, the letter S is added. Therefore, in the magazine designator 4XTX4, the letter X in the second position indicates that the magazine size is miscellaneous or nonstandard, and it is normally used for storing high explosives. Also, the normal explosive storage limit depends on the magazine’s size, location, and type of construction. The explosive limits contained in tables 12-4 through 12-7 are maximum capacities, They are based on magazine design and construction characteristics. These limits are further subject to the Q-D considerations discussed previously. Additional limitations are shown in the magazine designator. When the Q-D relationship, as indicated in the tables, doesn’t permit using the explosive capacity design of a standard magazine because of insufficient separating distances, the letter X, Y, or Z is added to the designator. These letters indicate the magazine contains mass detonation hazards, mass fire hazards, or fragment-producing hazards, respectively. For example, in the magazine Table 12-9.—Magazine Designators for Miscellaneous Magazines 12-11
